Haven't finished it yet, but so far unimpressed.

I'm confused why everyone seems to love this book so much.
Aside from he plot tangling around itself, and the characters constantly quipping back and forth to each other in over the top sitcom manner, it's practically impossible to tell the characters apart without attribution. Early in the first chapter there's a long exchange between two characters of different genders, and even with that difference it was still extremely difficult to tell them apart. The dialogue is stiflingly bland and the humor falls flat more often than it succeeds.

I think that I would have enjoyed this book, as the humor and style is something that I would normally like very much, if the characters had a bit of variety to them.
